I first learned how to play chess at age 10, after seeing a chess-related episode of "Mission: Impossible" on TV. I was instantly captivated by the game, fascinated by the look of the classic Staunton pieces, its system for recording moves (the old "descriptive" notation was still in use then, with its "Pawn to King 4" and "Knight to King's Bishop 3", etc.), and just the whole general mystique of the game. I simply *had* to learn more about it! And I did. Been playing ever since. 😊
